What Apache will do if one of BalancerMember is not working

[Tushar Chavan <tushar.chavan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We  are using below configuration.

ProxyPass / balancer://hotcluster/
<Proxy balancer://hotcluster>
BalancerMember http://1.2.3.4:8009 loadfactor=1
BalancerMember  htp://1.2.3.5:8009 loadfactor=2
# The below is the hot standby
BalancerMember  http://1.2.3.6:8009 status=+H
ProxySet lbmethod=bytraffic
</Proxy>
 

Now Suppose if BalancerMember 'http://1.2.3.4:8009' is not working then how Apache will come to know about it?

If Apache comes to know about non functional BalancerMember , then will apache forward same request to the next BalancerMember ?

Thanks,
Tushar.
